PLATE XVII. 



(Maeon. Basket-work.) 



Fig. 32. Coiled basTiet, made of single osier coil, sewed down with spruce root or wil- 

 low fiber, ascribed to Clallams by commerce in the text, but found on 

 examination to have come from Sitka. The sewing is very regularly 

 done, but the stitches split one another, as in Eskimo coiled sewing. Col- 

 lected at Sitka, by J. G. Swan, in 1876. Museum number, 23512. 



Fig. 33. One square inch of 32, showing the method of adding ornamental straws, 

 caught by every third stitch. The appearance of the yellow dots on the 

 dark-brown ground is very pleasing in the original.
